It was described as a powerful and moving historical fiction book about a Jewish family's individual journeys to survive the Holocaust, particularly during Passover.
It's called We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter, which is such a powerful title because it's like if you didn't die in the Holocaust, if you were one of the 6 million Jews that died in the Holocaust, you're lucky. You were the lucky ones.
So my thing about it that I love is that we know about the Holocaust. We know about Treblinka and Auschwitz and the numbers, but this book is historical fiction and it follows a family and each of their journeys to survive the Holocaust, which is so much more and personal and it's a way to look at what really happened.
Each one has such an interesting story of how they escaped and how they hid and how they fought alongside. So it's a beautiful fucking book and it really moved me.
This last weekend was Passover and it really made me realize what it took to... People who had to be brave and survive in my family line to let me be here and on a Zoom fucking Seder is unbelievable and it kind of made me appreciate life a little bit more and how lucky I am.
So it's called We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter and the audio book's great. I highly recommend it.
